Power Yoga classes are and athletic inspired flow (vinyasa) style class that evolve and change with every class.  These Power Flow classes are lively, energetic, fun flowing classes synchronizing breath with movement. Build strength, flexibility, and concentration. Power Yoga classes do not follow a set sequence of postures. Each class is unique. You can always expect a great cardiovascular and strength building workout combined with breath work (pranayama).

Most Vinyasa Power Flow classes are modeled on the Ashtanga style of yoga. The term Vinyasa Power Flow (Power Yoga) was created by teachers looking to make Ashtanga yoga more accessible. These classes are appropriate for active beginners through to advanced students. Modified versions of more challenging postures will always be given. Be sure to work at your own pace, and take breaks whenever you feel the need. Come and be inspired!

The term "vinyasa" is a Sanskrit word used to define the sequence in the sun salutation series of... chaturanga, up dog, down dog, all linked to breath. This sequence builds upper body strength and heat in the body, while stretching the legs and relaxing the spine. Vinyasa can also be found in classical Hatha classes where this sequence is used as a warm-up.

Heat is created in Power Yoga through challenging work not by adjusting the thermostat as in a Bikram or Hot yoga classes.  Another significant difference from Bikram, which is limited to a series of 26 posturesPower Yoga explores a wider variety of poses. That said, we always warm up with sun salutations, core work and then move on to a variety of series of poses to build strength, balance and relaxation. 

This is an all levels class, however, it is helpful if you have previous yoga experience or are feeling fit as the class moves quickly to build heat in our body in order to help go deeper in our poses.
